    Everyone knows that Türkiye is “a country that’s unwanted”. Why do you think that Turkey is still excluded from the EU? 😎
  2. That’s some biting commentary right there.
  3. LONG… Summary: I would consider Uruguay now, but would not live there if I were young. START: This kind of depends, but probably Uruguay if I could get a place close to the water north of Punta del Este, because (unfortunately) I am getting older. That said, if I could do over where to live from 2007 to 2014, there is no way that I would pick Uruguay. It is just too slow and boring. I never visited Montevideo for a night out other than one night in the middle of the winter in 2008 or 2009 when I was in a “visa run”. (Bouncing over to Uruguay so that when I returned to Argentina I got a tourist visa stamp for 90 more days.) That night I met some young people (college age) and went out to where the young people (16-22) bars are and I was way too old for that scene. Other than that, I don’t know. Montevideo does have a small “Beach front area” similar to Santa Monica down to Marina del Rey in LA with a bike path, volleyball nets, and new apartments/condos, so maybe you can find a nice life there, but even though I can’t afford it, I prefer the Punta del Este and north up to Jose Ignacio and beyond. The chaos of Buenos Aires can be fun/exhilarating, especially if you don’t have kids. If you don’t have to worry about how the next election is going to affect tour future and you can just focus on eating well, trying to hook up, doing whatever chemical stuff you like (coke, ecstasy, powdered Molly, acid, and/or weed were definitely at almost every party of expats that I went to from 2008-> but I didn’t realize if for a year or three because I never dabbled in most of those things before, so I didn’t realize it). coke was US$15/gram… which I believe is not very expensive. There are gated polo communities in Argentina and a ridiculously gated community “NorDelta” that offers boat slips at many houses in the greater Buenos Aires area. Argentina’s beach zone is south of BA about 3-5+ hours and is cold most of the year Córdoba is the 2nd biggest city and has nice commuter towns as well as a Lake District, which is cool. (Lots of pre & post WW2 German culture in that region.) Uruguay is developing vino tourism, their beach development is stretching all the way up to the Brazilian border, is has less crime and legal weed (not just decriminalized). Basically, give me a fun, smart, attractive woman who likes to fuck and try new foods and good weather and I could be happy wherever.
  4. Darwin Núñez is Uruguay’s answer to Ricardo Pepi. Just crushing his first touch right at the keeper.
  5. Uruguay player just intentionally crunched down on the Panamanian guy’s ankle and then stayed down to act like he was hurt so that he wouldn’t get a yellow card, but he absolutely should have received a yellow right there. 😁 CONMEBOL smart.
  6. 1) Uruguay is good. 2) Panama is going to finish this game with 10 men.

    This is the Pulisic we see against shirt Serie A teams. Against Top 3rd Serie A teams I believe that he usually disappeared.
  8. Going to “The hall of fame team of JP Dellacamera & Cobi Jones” and then not telling JP & Cobi that they were on air as they stood there awkwardly for about 5 to 7 seconds was just awesome. Especially because they never got word that they were on air. FOX just cut away to something else. First Class All The Way!!

    You just described most cops in Texas. And the area around Jerry World is like Addison on steroids.

    Weston McKennie is soccer’s answer to 2020s Ezekiel Elliott.

    That defender just fucked his keeper. If he blocks the far post by making himself a pillar and leaves the near post to his keeper, then it’s 1 - 0. Many top defenders make that mistake every week, but that was such a weak shot and the defender was an idiot. STU HOLDEN just explained what I always did on defense.

    1) That close stuff was created thanks to Tyler Adams having Gyasi Zardes’ touch. 2) Gio is milking this shit. (Which is want to do.) That was the softest scissor tackle I’ve seen this summer. (that was the first foul on Gio, not this second one) 3) Balogun isn’t that great.

    The announcer said “Top corner”, but the shot was not into the top CORNER. That ball was struck well, but shouldn’t have been a goal. Then the keeper punched out a softly lofted ball with no one around just a couple of minutes later. 1) This keeper sucks 2) Berhalter sucks. -we are going full scale England. -this game is completely dead.
  15. I’m caring for a buddy’s dogs after his family extended their trip y tengo casí cero ganas para soportar el transito desde mí casa hasta las puertas de Jerry World. Puede ser en el futuro. 🇧🇴/🇺🇸

    Anyone going to USA vs Bolivia this afternoon at Jerry World? I don’t have a ticket, but still am considering it. Would be coming in from Dallas without a parking pass, so highly doubtful that I was to buy a “$60” ticket and drop $120+* plus sweat a pound or two off when walking from wherever I end up parking. *”$60 ticket” = $60 ticket $23 taxes & convenience fees $8 tolls $30 parking ————————- $121 before even looking at a menu inside PLUS dripping with sweat upon entering the stadium… Maybe $150 & miserable for cheapest ticket available. I just talked myself out of going.
  17. Coco came back this morning to play 5 whole points. WHAT A BUMMER! Then Pegula pegged Kalinskaya in a 3rd set tie-breaker to win the trophy, but Kalinskaya looked delicious, so she was a winner too. This would have been Kalinskaya’sbfirst title ever on the WTA tour. Curiously, this is only Pegula’s 5th title ever. For someone who has been #3 in the world, I kind of thought that she would have more titles.
  18. Santiago Gimenez is Argentine, but grew up in Mexico because his dad played there (probably a soccer refugee who fled the financial crisis in Argentina at the end of December 2001. PS- Fuck El Mierda-Tri !
  19. Quiñones is Colombian. And he’s black. Now he plays for Mexico, but he’s Colombian. Don’t recall any black players from Mexico making the national team over the last 25+ years.
  20. “I have incredible sources.” Is the new “I have the best sources.”
  21. Peru is still possed that Chile took some land from them back when they smacked around Argentina, Bolivia, AND Peru in a land grab that has given Chile its current borders.
